Completely and professionally dismantles the fucker, and then ends it by basically saying, “so anyways, he placed 26th.” That whole statement was just dripping with utter disdain. Just amazing. Meanwhile, the US is literally being run by fucking Mossad at this point. I hate it here.

Not just 26th, but the 26th and final spot. Calling him last place lol

Well, russians are also in the same bucket. Still can compete, still can demonstrate their fascist symbols

There’s 13 athletes from Russia.

They may not get a flag, but they still are competing and very much Russian.

unlike here, where they are running using Israeli flags,

Nevermind the downvotes. Reading comprehension is a skill in steep decline.

Yep. Letting the Russians and Israelis to compete is legitimising what their countries are doing.
If a country is in a war/genocide etc, like Russia and Israel, then their athletes shouldn't be able to compete.

However, if the athletes change nationalities then they should be able to compete for the new country. But the athletes will lose any medals or Olympic records if they change back to their original nationality.
